Paul,
You ask some very valid questions and that's why I started this thread.
In response to some of your questions:
>could you enlighten me please: why the spot-bond , and what is the
>detrimental effect occurring (?) with loose seat ?
Small PTH components can float and tip during wave solder.
>(upon loose cooling on crystalline formations ?)
>Always thought the joint is actually too robust (as those with cavities
>actually live longer),
>but if you say this kind of effort is worth it , than 'm missing something .
I don't think this is the issue unless you have a jerky machine that can
knock components around, but then you have a lot bigger problem than
stabilizing some components.
>And how do you spot-bond actually (hand?)?
Some do it by hand but we use an Asymtek X-X-Z machine along with some hand
application.
>Would a delayed heat (quartz tube just behind wave) postpone the solidus
>just long enough to freeze in peace ?
Again I don't believe this is the concern.
>What would be the validated/qualified difference with and without (the
>spot-bond)?
Perfection of the product with no misaligned components.
Just some thoughts, I sure others will have more.
